dotnetnuke or EKTRON website

To replace the existing CRM related website, we have the content ready to be pasted into the new site, the site I now have has been butchered by the inhouse team, it is weak, lacks content, rates poorly on search engines and the CSS is aweful and I want it cleaned up, have attached image of dotnetnuke skin I want.

2. ** Inhouse Sales, Marketing and administration** Some of our team work remote from the office and everyone needs the ability to process a payment, to complete their timesheets so that activity can be seen by all others on the team in order that we don’t get revenue leakage. To work remotely they need access to the helpdesk. And the list of projects they are working on so a project management module is important.**

**3. **Resellers and Partners and Franchisees at some stage** who are looking to have own business with the ability to request software keys, they need to see the partner area of the knowledge base and to access support material that we may not wish to share in the public area, the login should determine what they see if possible.

Overall its the framework that I am interested, you will hand me control of the website, we will drive it thereafter, we may come back to you for additional dotnetnuke modules and would value experienced input.

## Deliverables

To install dotnetnuke or EKTRON CMS as our new website in the skin style below to provide various levels of access by product and team that is controlled ultimately by one person who in turn can empower others to manage other areas of the site. we need to provide

A. Support for Software solutions

B. Software sales

C. Consultancy

The site should be able to publish pages on certain pre agreed days and remove them after pre-agreed days.

**Public Benefits**

Cookie to present new content upon arrival since last visit

(a) Self registering for a demo or Evaluation software should only be available after registion is validated through automated validation email. If they have previously registered they should not be asked to re-register (another cookie ? )

(b) **Hosting options** to be explained after clicking on a button taking visitor to separate page, we have the content

(c) **Projects Module** is essential and Client participation would be nice a bit like sharepoint but should not be a show stopper, if its not available off the shelf then it can wait.

(d) ** Administration of leads** (when people register on the site for evaluations) should be parsed through to our existing inhouse WiredContact dot co . uk database held in SQL, this already has an external facing IP address and we already have a “lead capture facility?? so we can assist here,

(e) **Software Buy or rent page**to contain full price details of software we sell or rent we have the content

(f) **Customisation** We have the content.

(g) **Partners / area we do the content**

(h) **Previous work done** _leads to a Sub page containing a list of market sectors we have the content though require layout instructions or example._

On this page we see a list of Demos; Sorted by Market Sector, should enable a new site visitor to see online explanations of existing work undertaken, this would follow the same format where possible such as :-

**_Recruitment read below then click to see demo_**

(a) **Situation**

XYX Recruitment company

This product was installed......**

( c) Benefit

**cost of installation and software was fully recovered within 2 months though a saving in admin costs and an increase in sales.

3). **Training Tutorials** .(page suppressed until content is ready)

**Tutorials** must include practice exercises and/or questions with feedback, for example as seen with Adobe captivate see [[url removed, login to view]][1] or Snag-it a voice over could be required. The advantage of the first product is that at the end of each module its possible to do a survey re pace content technique etc to ensure partners understand relevant process that was just taught.

4). **Help Desk and Knowledge base** (we already use …. <[url removed, login to view]> if this could be integrated I would be quite happy, however if a more powerful solution were available without causing too many issue then I would be happy to consider it.

This should be available to Clients once registered to should provide the ability to capture screenshots in Helpdesk tickets with attachments where required. This component will include a word search capability, hypertext, and will serve as a master reference for product information. Information included in the reference library must be concise and easily accessible.

**Time sheets** are currently submitted and allocated against a project using [[url removed, login to view]][2] this is not ideal as it is an external web app.

**Google and Search Engine optimisations

**Site should be simple to optimise for search engine submission and with available space and resources to facilitate natural listings.

**Banner Advertising**

A section with space for banner advertising on Right hand side with PPC option.

5). **Documentation how to run the solution is essential

****Visual appearance we favour can be done in Ektron

<[url removed, login to view]>**

The above skin appears clean and simple, the colours unless I am convinced otherwise are complimentary, the image when expanded does however require slide bars at 1024 x 760.

The on screen presentation must be centralised and should not move when going from one panel to the next i.e. the CSS should not reload the entire site with each key click.

Panels (containers) on the right can alter depending upon what is in the main panel we are open to sugestions.
